A Glorious Sound


I love this sound. It floods me with the joys of plane spotting... the toasty warmth from a glaring sun, gleaming landing lights in the hazy distance, the rush of wind from passing "heavies", the smell of burnt rubber and kerosene fumes. I find it amazing that something so metallic and artificial can create the magical freedom of flight.

By the way, I'm pretty sure the plane in this sound track is an Airbus A320. No other plane has the particular "buzz saw" sound to the engines.
